When I delivered unfamiliar boats the first thing I did was to start at the bow and work back, opening every locker and checking the contents, looking under every bunk, under every floorboard, etc. Took maybe an hour or four, depending on the size of boat.

That way if once sailing I found I needed an XXX I would have in my mind whether or not an XXX was on board, and probably remember roughly where it was. I would also have found all the seacocks, switches, etc., as well as the mouldering pair of underpants and tube of medical cream in one locker corner.

You should do the same. Probably though your valves are accessible by removing saloon berth back cushions.....

If they are independent then the valve is probably close to the freshwater pump. However they may be interconnected and draw water from both. find the pump and work backwards along the inlet hose.
